Will Bitcoin close above $65,000 on Aug 10?
67% of users predicted YES — the community missed this one. 3 predictions cast.
Bitcoin failed to close above $65,000 on Monday, Aug. 10, 2026, according to CoinDesk and Yahoo Finance market coverage. The cryptocurrency traded above $65,000 intermittently during the session - Yahoo Finance's morning markets update was headlined "BTC breaking past $65,000 yet again" - but pulled back later in the day, with CoinDesk reporting the price sliding to roughly $64,000. The drop coincided with news that Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) had sold 1,690 bitcoin, adding sell-side pressure, while the Senate's decision to postpone consideration of the CLARITY Act, a digital-asset market-structure bill, to the fall removed a potential near-term catalyst that traders had been watching. Bitcoin had been oscillating in a tight band around the $65,000 level for several sessions leading into Aug. 10 as traders awaited the following week's inflation data before taking larger directional positions. Ether moved in a similar pattern that day, trading lower alongside bitcoin. A majority of community votes, 67%, had predicted bitcoin would close above $65,000, making this one of the day's larger community misses.
